Trying to provide a balanced review of this airbnb which I rented for 3 days. I would consider this a premium stay given that I paid usd1.2K for 3 nights, 3 bedrooms. Firstly the positives:
- Host is very responsive and she has staff to help address any questions or help needed on site
- Although the whole apartment is rather old, her place is generally very clean and tastefully decorated.
- Kitchen is very well equipped with all necessary items for light cooking
- TV with alot of channels and fast internet available
- Rooms are generally large and clean but no wardrobes
- Place is around 10 mins walk to MRT Station
Some areas to highlight :
- The apartment has a strange design in that one of the rooms can only be access through the roof terrace or a shared toilet.
- The apartment is on three levels - Ground, 1st and 2nd storey. The only way to get up is with a spiral stairway (which is dislike) and hence not suitable if you have a lot of luggages or have problems climbing stairs.
- The apartment has a very nice roof terrace but not having a fan or proper lighting makes the place less useful in the evening.
- One of the bidget in one of the toilet was not working for two nights out of three but the owner did managed to get it repaired on the third night
- The property generally have alot of mosquitoes at night and hence, better to bring insect repellent.
Overall, stay was pleasant and positive but just short of perfect given the issues mentioned above.
